Yr 9 Students comments

The workshop was a mixture of performance & drama activities. Participants met Stacey a student living in Oldham, Stacey appeared throughout the workshop & delivered a monologue about her life; the monologue was split into 4 sections. In between each section the students took part in drama activities & explored Stacey’s situation & created solutions.

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance workshop and are planning to take it to several schools & colleges around the local area. The feedback & comments we have received was fantastic & we were extremely impressed with the maturity & behaviour of Matthew Moss students.
